The Edo State Joint Security Taskforce raided the Upper Sokponba, Benin, and combed riverine communities, leading to the arrest of suspected kidnappers.

The suspected kidnappers, comprising seven males, were arrested around Ogbemudia oil palm plantation on Saturday.

Prior to the operation, General Officer Commanding 2 Division, Major General Anthony Omozoje, had intimated Governor Godwin Obaseki on their activity in the state, promising to bring a halt to the recent rise in criminality and lend support to efforts at capturing fleeing escapees from the two federal correctional facilities in Benin City, the state capital.

Omozoje also met with heads of security agencies in the state, making a case on the need for synergy among the agencies with a view to restoring peace and order in the state.

On their operations in the riverine communities and other hotspots, he said, “Troops of the 4 brigade are on clearance operation at suspected kidnappers hideouts at Ogbemudia oil palm plantation and the river behind it. We intend to disrupt all kidnapping activities along the axis and secure the Benin-Auchi Expressway.”

He also noted that several escaped prisoners and criminal gang leaders have been arrested, as the task force is focused on ensuring a reduction in crime in Benin metropolis and environs.

Fear village people.
Is that not Igbinosun and Ehigiator that sell fake 'sure-odds' at Ewatto in Ubiaja?

The worst entanglement to get out of is a wrong allegation from the army.

I wonder what would have become of me if that Colonel had walked in on me on top of his 2nd wife 12 years ago.
A premature ejaculation saved my life that day because I just left some 2minutes before he got home and that's why I always pray to God to order my steps.

These boys here were probably at the right place at the wrong time because they look like hungry oil palm workers who are also ragtag cultists ...they don't look like the herdsmen kidnappers who terrorise the Aviele - Eguono, Agbede - Ewu or Igbira Camp - Ikpeshi axis.
